eve nicolplaywright​&​ director

hello

I tell stories. Sometimes as a playwright. Sometimes as a director.

My work is lead by contemporary text and usually involves some rock/pop musical element. I am drawn to stories of obsession, sexuality and glamour. I like trying to better understand human nature by looking at how animals work.

I create productions as Heroes Theatre from my base at Glasgow Theatre Arts Collective in Govan. I have made theatre that has been performed in fields, festivals, pools, pubs and stages across Scotland. Recent work includes a table top production of Simon Stephens' Sea Wall which toured Glasgow and London pubs, a live illustrated story book tackling anxiety (Hero) and a punk theatre poem celebrating teen grrl friendships and fish (GUTTERED).

As an Assistant Director, I’ve worked with David Greig at The Lyceum, Edinburgh (Glory on Earth), and Andy Arnold at The Tron, Glasgow (Cock).

Recent support for new performance projects includes MGC Futures, National Theatre of Scotland and the Tom McGrath Trust.

One Life Stand

When we can have sex whenever, however and with whomever we want, why settle for a regular relationship? With the promise of fresh excitement just a swipe away, is Kat’s long-term relationship really her lifelong dream?

One Life Stand is a late-night search for intimacy across a hyperconnected and hypersexualised city, exposing the loneliness found inside modern relationships where the expectations of lust and the limits of love are ever changing.
